                We study <strong>fluid dynamics</strong> phenomena using computer simulations,
                particularly fluid flows involving chemical reactions such as <strong>combustion</strong>.

                <strong>turbulent combustion</strong>.

                Our research focuses on numerical methods to reduce the computational expense
                of accurately simulating combustion and engineering fluid flows,
                as well as the actual physical phenomena like turbulence-chemistry interactions
                and smoldering combustion.
